Even picks will bounce off the frozen ground like it was concrete.

Until you get down below the frost line.

They probably built a fire on top of the ground where they were going to dig and let it smolder for a couple of days.

Then they could dig through thawed out ground.

Re: Grave Digging


Grave digging and robbing has been around for ever! Whenever I think about graves being robbed I always thing of the Valley of the Kings and just all the treasurers that were there but were stolen, and how much of it was left over once archeologist found it! :D
